GOVERNMENT ALLEGED TO HAVE USED
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN POPULATIONS AS GUINEA PIGS

GULF WAR SYNDROME -- TIP OF THE ICEBERG

If your highest ambition in life is to become
a highly evolved medical guinea pig, the U.S. Army has a slogan for
you, "Be all that you can be". It has become evident that many who
join the ranks of Uncle Sam's military are viewed by their superiors
in the Pentagon as just that: experimental animals to be used for
secret inoculation and non-consensual medical research.

Dr. Larry Goss, a Lawton, Oklahoma physician
who has worked in Veterans Administration hospitals and clinics,
caring for Gulf War veterans, had little regard for the rumors
surrounding the origin of the supposed Gulf War Illness (GWI). That
is, until he contracted the disease, himself, from the veterans he
was treating. When his wife and son also became sick with the
"fantasy" illness, as the government has attempted to label it, he
became a staunch believer.

His patriotic identity, Dr. Goss told The
WINDS, "was the American flag and the Constitution. I should have
been born on the Fourth of July," Goss said. "I came from a military
family, I was for the military--and," Goss added, "I'm thoroughly
disgusted and disillusioned."

Evidence indicates that the government has
experimented with a very large percentage of the veterans
participating not only in Operation Desert Storm, but currently with
those in Bosnia as well.
The American Gulf
War Veteran's Association* (AGWVA) claims
that 40% (280,000) of the veterans participating in the Persian Gulf
hostilities have contracted some form of neuromuscular or skin
disorders. Among the most prominent are:

The AGWVA, founded by retired U.S. Army
Captain, Joyce Riley Von Kleist, RN, was established to provide aid
and an information for veterans who have contracted GWI, also
referred to as the Gulf War Syndrome (GWS). Von Kleist claims to have
substantial evidence supporting allegations that GWS comes from the
"one thing we all have in common--vaccinations." Capt.Von
Kleist engages in what seems to be well-founded speculation when she
states her belief that much of the problems suffered by Gulf War
veterans stem from secret inoculations intended as experimental HIV
vaccines.

Dr. Garth L. Nicolson, Ph.D., is a Professor of
Internal Medicine and Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. He is also the
Chief Scientific Officer for the Institute for Molecular Medicine in
Huntington Beach, California, and has personally examined almost
two-hundred veterans suffering from Gulf War Syndrome.

During those examinations, Dr. Nicolson found
that nearly half of the veterans were infected with an unusual
microorganism called mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus strain). In
almost half of the vets examined these exceptionally tiny and
primitive bacteria were found deep within the blood leukocytes--the
white blood cells that comprise the most aggressive part of the
body's immune system machinery. "This microorganism," Nicolson
explains, "is similar to a bacterium without a cell wall and,
although mycoplasmas are often found at superficial sites in humans,
such as in the oral cavity, they are rarely found in the blood."

An even more astonishing discovery was that
those same bacteria found in the Gulf War veterans' blood also
contained a portion of the HIV--the virus that causes AIDS.
This gene, called the gp120 or "envelope" gene, only codes for
creating the surface protein of the virus. This is an important
factor in the cell's ability to do its nasty work.

A virus, Dr. Goss explains, can be compared to
an M&M candy. The sugar coating is the protein shell and the
chocolate is the viral DNA. The shell tricks the host cell into
allowing the virus to penetrate its wall and inject its DNA, which
then commandeers the cell's reproductive machinery to make copies of
itself--somewhat like a prankster using the church Xerox machine to
copy pornographic photos--a destructive purpose for which it was
never intended. When enough of the viral copies are "replicated",
they burst through the cell wall, destroying the cell and begin the
process all over again, only with thousands more copies of the virus
with which to work.

"This gp120 is how the HIV virus gets into
cells," Dr. Nicolson explains. "When you put this protein onto cells
like the mycoplasma fermentans, which already has the ability to
enter some cells, it greatly increases its ability to enter a variety
of different cells." The new protein, functioning as a key to
give it the capacity to act like the AIDS virus, "can now go to
virtually any cell, any tissue, any organ and enter cells and
interfere with metabolism and kill them."

Doctors Goss and Nicolson both claim that the
result of this marriage of a portion from the AIDS virus with a
primitive bacteria has created a powerful pathogen that causes
system-wide infection and cell damage from the kidneys to the brain,
and nearly everything in between. The chilling part of this concept
is that this microscopic matrimony could only be accomplished by
artificial genetic engineering whereby the gp120 gene was severed
from live HIV virus with an enzyme "knife" and then implanted into
the mycoplasma giving the bacterium its destructive power.

Damning evidence for the fact that this is an
artificial, man-made infection, according to Dr. Nicolson, "is the
fact that antibodies against synthetic squalene, which is only used
in experimental vaccines, has been found in the blood of soldiers.
There are very few experimental vaccines that have this type of
adjuvant in them--and one of them is an HIV vaccine."

THE FRENCH CONNECTION

In personal research
stimulated by his illness and perceived betrayal by his country, Dr.
Larry Goss has pieced together information about the Gulf War and its
pursuant illness that paints a startling and ominous, but believable,
picture.

Of the twenty-eight Gulf
War coalition forces, Goss said, the military cadre of twenty-seven
of those nations have contracted GWI. The only country that claims no
infected personnel is France. Is it just coincidence that France is
also the only member of the coalition that refused to allow their
soldiers to receive vaccinations?

Dr. Goss, in treating
Gulf War veterans with GWI, discovered that a one-two punch of the
anti-viral drug, Famvir and the antibiotic Doxycycline was quite
effective in their treatment--so much so that Dr. Nicolson's
Institute for Molecular Medicine has included it in its recommended
therapy. What else Goss uncovered was that the French, "before their
military even left their ports to go to the theater, were giving
their troops Doxycycline--500mg twice a day. They were giving them so
much that these guys were vomiting and messing their pants" from
reaction to the drug.

Were the French the
"control group" in an insidious study?

"What did they know,"
Goss questioned, "how did they know it and when did they learn it?"
In addition, he said, "some U.S. units were ordered to take Cipro--an
appropriate antibiotic for mycoplasma." Veterans told Dr. Goss that
"the medics in their units pulled up in the back of their Humm-Vs and
started shoveling out cases of Cipro, and said 'fill your pockets and
start taking it twice a day.' The next day they got hit with their
first Scud attack--and then two weeks later they were told to turn in
any remaining Cipro. Other U.S. units in the theater," Goss added,
"got no Cipro. Double-blind study--perhaps?"

Goss confessed that he
didn't understand their reasoning in all this until he realized he
was "thinking like an altruistic physician who follows the
Hippocratic oath." The ones doing this, he said, have such a
scientific clinical mindset that "they don't care if they kill you. I
had to get past this."

Goss realized that their
reasoning behind using mycoplasmas comes from the fact that they
would be undetectable without the use of DNA-PCR tests--the same ones
used to try to convict O. J. Simpson--and very few labs have that
capability. As it happened, Dr. Nicolson's laboratory has the
equipment and was able to determine the presence of the little
carrier bacterium.

AWashington Times article claims that,
"Dale Vesser, a retired Army general, was the first Pentagon
spokesman to admit...that the Department of Defense had squalene and
used it in recent experimental medical tests on about fifty soldiers
to test an antimalaria vaccination. At the time, mid-August, Vesser
claimed that was the only Pentagon usage of squalene." (The
Washington Times, Oct. 16, 1997).

The cover-up aspect of this scenario becomes
even more plausible when it is considered, according to Dr. Nicolson,
that "the NIH [National Institutes of Health] and the military were
jointly testing an HIV vaccine before the Gulf War.

"The NIH and military researchers refused to
provide the Institute for Molecular Medicine with any samples of
their experimental vaccine so that IMM could determine what they were
dealing with in the treatment of veterans with GWS. They also refused
to give the institute any shot records of the vets to aid in their
diagnosis."

This refusal on the part of the government
appears somewhat unusual considering that the military will soon be
sending scientists from organizations like the Armed Forces Institute
of Pathology and Walter Reed Army Medical Center to Dr. Nicolson's
institute so the government scientists can receive training in the
identification of these deep-cell infections.

The government, it seems, should have been
aware of the danger posed by the little bacterium. Among other
studies, the University of Alabama School of Medicine reported, "Four
silver leaf monkeys inoculated with mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus
strain) showed wasting syndromes and died in 7-9 months." In fact,
the government did know of the powerful nature of this organism. The
study referenced the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington
D.C.

There is even more evidence that the government
scientists were well aware of the pathogenicity (dangerous infectious
nature) of the mycoplasma incognitus bacteria before ever using it as
a vehicle for an alleged HIV vaccine. The aforementioned Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology maintains a training program for medical
personnel on infectious diseases in which was taught:

Mycoplasma fermentans [incognitus] are the mycoplasma
organisms that are known to be transmitted sexually....Results
obtained in-vitro suggests that mycoplasmas act as cofactors with the
Human Immunodifficiency Virus (HIV) in the development of AIDS and
mycoplasmas have been isolated from HIV-infected individuals. These
mycoplasmas have the capacity to invade cells and to be potent
immunomodulators [altering the immune system].

Lo and associates demonstrated M. fermentans infection in the
tissues of 70% of AIDS patients....No other microorganisms were
present in these lesions of these AIDS patients. (1)

The WINDS has obtained a copy of a letter to a
Gulf War veteran from the Uniformed Services University, dated June
of 1997, in which they stated that, "In 1995, the University dropped
lectures discussing mycoplasma fermentans due to a curriculum
reform." This presents serious questions as to why studies on such a
virulent, and apparently widespread disease-causing bacterium would
be excluded from lectures on pathology--the very medical discipline
that focuses on such studies.

In addition, this reporter has received copies
of medical reports of tests conducted on several veterans of the Gulf
War suffering from GWS indicating infection with M. fermentans. One
official examination record makes another interesting observation. It
claims, "The veteran has been exposed to chemicals during the Gulf
War and a mycoplasma --- with 6mm war agent was found."(sic). The vet
was given a determination of 50% disability--from a war zone in which
the government and the commanding general, Norman Schwarzkopf,
claimed there was no exposure to such agents.

Indeed, the government seems to have been
playing a form of biological roulette with its service members'
well-being and medical history. In an article published on December
21st, the Cleveland Plain Dealer claimed that a U.S. Army
ethics review board, just prior to the Gulf War, insisted that it
would be a breach of medical ethics to test an unapproved vaccine on
military personnel without issuing a warning as to its potential
effects. That ruling, however, "by the ethics committee at the army's
biological research station at Fort Detrick, Md., was overridden
after the Defense Department cited national security concerns."

The
army admits to 8,000 troops having received the vaccine, according to
the Plain Dealer, which was designed to counteract the
effects of a possible botulism attack by the Iraqis. They are also
looking into the possibility that involuntary vaccinations might
explain the Gulf War Syndrome that has afflicted an estimated 200,000
military personnel stationed in the Middle East during the war.

A Pentagon spokesman for the Secretary of
Defense told The WINDS that the Defense Department objected to the
Cleveland newspaper's use of the term "experimental". "It is what is
known as an investigational new drug," he said, [government speak]
claiming that the drug in contention is perfectly safe. Questions
present themselves as to what is the difference between an
"experimental" drug and an "an investigational new drug"? (I didn't
say "old", I said "antique".) Scientists routinely use the term
"investigation" when referring to experimental research. If the drug
is deemed safe, why is the government investigating it as a possible
cause of GWS?

When asked specifically about the newspaper's
allegation that the Gulf War vets were given these drugs
involuntarily and without being informed of the nature of the
vaccines, the Secretary of Defense's office flatly stated, "That's
not true...even though permission was given by the FDA to give these
drugs without consent, Central Command decided to make it voluntary
and I have evidence," the DOD spokesman continued, "that shows that
the informed consent information was made available to the Central
Command and was disseminated to the lower ranks for use."

The WINDS obtained a Department of Defense
document entitled simply "DOC_208_BIOLOGICAL_WARFARE VAC", addressing
the administration of experimental vaccines. The Pentagon told this
office that military personnel were informed of the experimental
nature of the drug. This contrasts with security instructions on the
document stating, "The vaccine is to be administered in an enclosed
area. No media is to be present. No photographs are permitted."--Of a
simple vaccination? Why the secrecy? "The concept is to keep this
program as low key as possible."

A vaccination record of a Gulf War vet who has
contracted GWS was also obtained by this office. At the bottom of the
record are the cryptic words that seem to contradict the above
statement by the Defense Department: "Received Immunization "B"
classified secret while participation in Operation Desert
Storm."(sic).

In direct contradiction to DOD's position is
the report submitted to the president by the Presidential Advisory
Committee on Gulf War Veteran's Illness in which is stated:

In the Gulf War, DOD used two investigational products
as prophylactic measures against CBW agents....Under normal
circumstances, neither could have been administered without the
informed consent of the individuals who received them. In December
1990, FDA issued (at DOD's request) an interim Final Rule permitting
DOD to use investigational products without informed consent during
military exigencies; FDA granted waivers of informed consent.

With respect to the Gulf War, DOD has acknowledged that it did not
comply with the letter or spirit of its agreement with FDA....

This report from a Presidential Advisory
Committee carries considerable impact when it states that:

...the issue of accurate medical and vaccination
records is central to the concerns of many ill veterans, and the
absence of records has been suggested by some as evidence that the
government is engaging in a cover-up of its own predeployment
practices.

Lies are not confined to lower ranking policy
members of the Department of Defense, however. General Norman
Schwarzkopf, commander of Desert Storm, admitted lying to Congress
"about a chemical weapons case involving an Ohio soldier.

"Unpublished battlefront reports showing that
Schwarzkopf knew about the soldier in 1991 raised questions about why
he told Congress this year that he had no knowledge of anyone being
exposed to chemical weapons." USA TODAY,(Sept. 15, 1997).

In a process of apparent "reverse
evolution"--i.e., getting worse--not better--as time progresses, is
it surprising that the government is doing precisely with its troops
now stationed in Bosnia as it did with Gulf War personnel?

The same presidential committee includes in its
report:

DOD's performance in Bosnia with the investigational
TBE vaccine has been an abysmal failure....As determined by FDA,
DOD's use of TBE vaccine during Operations Joint Endeavor/Joint Guard
has violated federal regulations pertaining to investigational
products on several accounts, including...failure to ensure safety
and efficacy; promotion of safety and efficacy for the
investigational product; and failure to obtain institutional Review
Board approval of informed consent documents.

The committee then recommended that the DOD
obtain "independent evaluation" of "the role of troops as human
research subjects." (emphasis supplied).

"Since the 1950s, regulations have prohibited
the military from giving experimental drugs to troops without their
knowledge. However, in 1964 the Department of Defense and the FDA
negotiated a memorandum of understanding that allowed the contingent
use of experimental drugs to protect against battlefield exposure
without following all the FDA rules, including informed consent."
(Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dec. 21, 1997).

A-POX-ALYPSE NOW

A horrifying footnote to current events on the
subject of human experimentation comes in the way of multinational
goals in massive population reduction and the manner they may
conceivably have in mind to accomplish those goals.

Dr. Larry Goss shared with this reporter that
he has discovered that many of the Gulf War veterans he has examined
have been given smallpox vaccinations. One could not help but wonder
why they would do this since the last case of naturally acquired
smallpox was reported from Somalia in 1977. Because the virus cannot
remain viable for long without expressing itself in a host, the
World Health
Organization (WHO) declared the disease to be extinct in 1980.

In studying events
surrounding GWI, Dr. Goss discovered that, not some, but nearly all
of the vaccination records of the 700,000 Persian Gulf vets are
missing--and the ones that remain have no record of the soldiers
having received any smallpox vaccinations.

There are two repositories maintaining live
variola (smallpox) virus cultures, kept for "research purposes".
According to the WHO they are the "Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America and in the
Institute for Viral Preparations in Moscow, Russian Federation."

What more effective way of drastically reducing
the human population than to declare a disease, that is so virulent
that it has taken millions of lives, to be eradicated--then raise up
a generation with no inoculated immunity to that disease and release
it back into that population? It is, as scientists like to put it, an
elegant solution.

The Bulletin for Experimental Treatment for
AIDS (BETA), a publication of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation,
lists some of the companies involved in the search for an AIDS
vaccine. Among them "Bristol-Myers Squibb of New York City is
developing a recombinant vaccine made by inserting fragments of
gp160, a protein on the envelope of the virus, into live but
weakened smallpox virus...."

Does Iraq's accusation, reported by ABC News,
now seem quite as unrealistic, that "'America is likely to launch
military strikes on these sites and others, using mass destruction
weapons which contain chemical and biological elements, so that it
can say, after the strikes, that its allegations were right,' an
official spokesman told the Iraqi news agency INA. 'It is quite
necessary to warn against such a wicked American conspiracy, which is
confirmed by well-informed sources," the spokesman said.

Warn against "such a wicked American
conspiracy"? How could they think such a thing? Does the Iraqi
government know more than the American public?

YOU MEAN I DON'T HAVE TO JOIN THE MILITARY
TO QUALIFY AS A GOVERNMENT GUINEA PIG?

That the United States Government has been
performing secret medical experiments on its own citizens (civilian
as well as military) without their permission or knowledge is not
only an historically proven fact, known by many, but it is obvious
that it is not confined to history. What most do not know is that
U.S. law actually provides for the government's use of its own
citizens as experimental test subjects without their permission or
prior knowledge.

Use of human subjects for testing of chemical or
biological agents by Department of Defense; accounting to
Congressional committees with respect to experiments and studies;
notification of local civilian officials...

The only provision contained in the law for
challenging such experiments is in the obliquely worded paragraph one
of subsection 'b' which says:

The Secretary of Defense may not conduct any test or
experiment involving the use of any chemical or biological agent on
civilian populations unless local civilian officials in the area in
which the test or experiment is to be conducted are notified in
advance of such test or experiment...

This necessarily applies to peacetime civilian
populations. There would be no permission asked, or granted, of a
foreign government with which this nation were at war, for permission
to experiment on their citizens.

and such test or experiment may then be conducted only
after the expiration of the thirty-day period beginning on the date
of such notification.

It should be noted that no definition exists
within that law which defines who or what constitutes "local civilian
officials". Under this wording compliance could be satisfied by the
notification of an off-duty meter maid.

The reality of 50 USC 1520 is that it is, on
the face of it, unconstitutional. The fourth article of amendment to
the U.S. Constitution clearly states, "The right of the people to be
secure in their persons...shall not be violated."

The most prominent application of the federal
law, with which most people are familiar, is the infamous Tuskegee
Experiments. These were studies performed by the United States Public
Health Service (USPHS) upon 412 black American citizens infected with
syphilis, depriving them of a proven cure for the purpose of a
40-year study of the disease's effect--which, untreated, is nearly
always death.

More recently has come to light experiments
being performed, again on black people, by the United States
government; this time outside the restrictions of U.S. law.

A September 18 article in the New York Times
reveals that "...for the past two years, the United States has
been conducting experiments on pregnant women infected with HIV in
Africa, Thailand and the Dominican Republic, in which some women are
given drugs that can prevent transmission of the deadly AIDS virus to
their babies and some receive only dummy pills. (emphasis
supplied).

"The study is so controversial,"
theTimes article continues, "that even some of the
government's own scientists have questioned whether it is ethical."

In an
editorial by Dr. Marcia Angell, executive editor for
the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM ), Dr. Angell
opens with a powerful argument against the ethics of these studies.
"An essential ethical condition for a randomized clinical trial,
comparing two treatments for a disease is that there be no good
reason for thinking one is better than the other....If there is,"
says theJournal editorial, "...the investigators would be
guilty of knowingly giving inferior treatment to some participants in
the trial."

Angell goes on to quote the World Health
Organization, who she identifies as being "widely regarded as
providing the fundamental guiding principles of research involving
human subjects."

"'In research on man,'" she excerpts from the
WHO's Declaration of Helsinki, "'the interest of science and society
should never take precedence over considerations related to the
well-being of the subject,' and 'in any medical study, every patient
-- including those of a control group, if any -- should be assured of
the best proven diagnostic and therapeutic method.'" (ibid.)

Could it not be logically questioned why not
conduct the research in this country which, outside of
Africa and Haiti, has about
the highest incidence of HIV infection in the world?

That question is forcefully answered by the
director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Arthur Caplan. "If you tried to do this study in
the U.S.," Dr. Caplan said, "you would have to do it through a throng
of demonstrators and a sea of reporters." (NYT, Sept. 18,
1997).

The research, using non-American black women,
is founded on studies that show that women with HIV infections that
are treated with the drugs under study are two-thirds less likely to
pass the disease on to their unborn children. "But the drug regimen
costs about $1,000 per mother, so public health officials want to
know if there are less expensive ways to use AZT to achieve the same
benefit." (ibid.). [Note the ubiquitous references to money as a
motivational factor in human "compassion".]

"Half the foreign women in the experiments
receive AZT," says the Times article, "at varying levels that
differ from the amounts used in
the United States. The other half get the dummy, or placebo, pills."

The condemnation of this clinical act of
God-playing lies in the fact that more than 1,000 children, critics
say, will acquire the HIV infections of their mothers and, as a
result, will die from AIDS -- which could have been prevented.
(ibid).

Dr. Angell also makes a strong comparison of
the AZT program to the syphilis study mentioned earlier. "A textbook
example of unethical research is the Tuskegee Study of Untreated
Syphilis. In that study... from 1932 to 1972, [the subjects] were
followed and compared with 204 men free of the disease to determine
the natural history of syphilis."

The Tuskegee studies were terminated in 1970,
just two years shy of its 40-year goal, when public outcry erupted
following news reports revealing their existence. By that time, it is
estimated, nearly a quarter of the men involved had died of the
disease.

"The only lament," Dr. Angell noted, "seemed to
be that many of the subjects inadvertently received treatment by
other doctors," thus denying the researchers the full benefit of
observing the disease's ultimate expression in those individuals.
Indeed, they had taken extraordinary precautions to prevent their
test subjects from receiving treatment. In order to assure that this
virile and violent disease went unchecked in USPHS's human guinea
pigs, a comprehensive list of all participants was provided every
agency, physician, every venereal disease treatment program with whom
they might come in contact--even draft boards."

It appears that the same ethic is being plied
upon the Gulf War veterans by the Defense Department when they
decreed that all vets suffering from GWS be treated only in VA
hospitals, according to the American Gulf War Veterans Association.
They have the choice to seek private treatment, but at their own
expense, because the VA will not issue chits for such care as they
have done under different instances. This makes the military a
research scientist's dream--the perfect, isolated, test population.
They have engineered circumstances much the same as with the Tuskegee
experiments, ensuring that there is little or no outside interference
with their studies.

A BRIEF HISTORY

The case histories are numerous of involuntary,
secret experiments being performed on American citizens by their
government. As testimonial to the extreme likelihood that such
violations of personal rights by this government will continue
covertly, the following historical citations are presented:

The Green Run2 - This experiment was carried out by the Atomic Energy
Commission (now the Nuclear Regulatory Agency) in December, 1949
which expelled 28,000 curies of radioactive material into the
atmosphere at Hanford, Washington to test the effects and their
ability to detect foreign bomb-making production. This was
knowingly done upwind from local residents whose health was
secretly monitored to observe any effects the release might have-
-apparently as a fringe benefit to researchers of the primary
purpose of the release. These residents were not informed of the
release--national security, of course.

To place in perspective the enormous
quantity of radiation represented by 28,000 curies -- ONE
curie, alone, is radiation equaling 22,200,000,000,000 (22.2
trillion) atomic disintegrations per minute. When that one curie
is multiplied by the 28,000 ejected during the Green Run tests it
becomes more than an incomprehensible amount of radiation.

Plutonium Injection Studies3 of the
late 1940's and early 1950's. Case-in-point - a 53-year-old
"colored male" as the report refers to him, named
Ebb Cade who was hospitalized by an automobile
accident. He was subsequently injected with plutonium for the
purpose of testing its long-term effects, because he was, except
for his injuries, in excellent physical condition, and would be
expected to live for another twenty to thirty years. Mr. Cade died
thirteen years later.

In the DOE's official report on the matter it is recorded that
the army doctor who administered the injection, Dr. Joseph
Howland, "told AEC investigators in 1974 that..."there was, he
recalled, no consent from the patient. He acted, he testified,
only after his objections were met with a written order to proceed
from his superior, Dr. Friedell."

"I was only following orders"--Does this contain a
slight echo of Nuremberg?

"...in Mr. Cade's case," the DOD document states, "the risk of
a plutonium-induced cancer could not be ruled out." TRANSLATION:
let's shoot the guy up and see if he gets cancer.

The Department of Energy was thrown into a maelstrom of spin
control in 1994 when an Albuquerque Tribune reporter
revealed extensive radiation experiments over a number of years by
DOD on individuals without their consent. "They included," the
report stated, "235 babies in five states who were injected with
radioactive iodine, 100 retarded Massachusetts children [deja vu
Nuremberg again] who had been fed radioactive cereal, 800 pregnant
Tennessee women who had been exposed to radioactive substances and
eight people injected with various isotopes of strontium at the
University of California Hospital at San Francisco."

On the last day of 1997 CNN and the Associated Press published
a story claiming: "A group of former students who ate radioactive
oatmeal [in the 1940's and 50's] as unwitting participants in a
food experiment will share a $1.85 million settlement from Quaker
Oats and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The Department of Energy's web site that
addresses its "Human Subjects Research" program opens with the
header, "PROTECTING HUMAN SUBJECTS". After what has been revealed of
their past record of safeguarding the welfare of their experimentees,
one might well be advised to forego their "protection". Perhaps their
motto should read, "PROTECTING HUMAN SUBJECTS--if we
must."

WILLOWBROOK4 -
"[Through] 1972 Dr. Saul Krugman of New York University led a
study team at the Willowbrook State School for the Retarded, on
Staten Island, New York....[T]he residents of the school, [were]
nearly all...profoundly mentally impaired children and
adolescents....The Armed Forces Epidemiological Board...approved
and funded the research, and the executive faculty of the New York
University School of Medicine...approved the research. Krugman and
his colleagues injected some of them with a mild form of hepatitis
serum. The researchers justified their work on the grounds that
the subjects probably would have become infected anyway." They had
told the parents that the children would be given a vaccine when,
in fact, none existed.

Most people believe that the concept of the
American government performing harmful medical experiments on their
own citizens is preposterous. That is precisely the approach taken by
Senator John Glenn (D.Ohio) when he introduced Senate Bill
S.193 in January of 1997. In his oral introduction
of the bill to the Senate floor he began with a hypothetical
scenario:

"If I approached any Senator here and I said, 'You did not know it, but the
last time they went to the doctor or went to the hospital, your wife
or your husband or your daughter or your son became the subject of a
medical experiment that they were not even told about. They were
given medicine, they were given pills, they were given radiation,
they were given something and were not even told about this, were not
even informed about it, yet they are under some experimental research
that might possibly do them harm--maybe some good will come out of
it, but maybe it will do them harm also--but they do not know about
it,' people would laugh at that and say that is ridiculous. That
cannot possibly happen in this country. Yet, that very situation is
what this piece of legislation is supposed to address."

Senator Glenn goes on to ask, rhetorically,
"What law prohibits experimenting on people without their informed
consent? What I found, when I looked into it," Glenn shares his
surprise, "is there is no law on the books requiring that informed
consent be obtained."

Glenn also stated instances of what he called,
"sad examples of unethical research conducted in the United
States...well after the Nuremberg Code was issued [and] adopted...."

The very first sentence of the ten articles of
the Nuremberg Code, embraced after WWII in response to Nazi
atrocities, states, "The voluntary consent of the human subject is
absolutely essential." The United States is a signatory of the
Nuremberg Code, which apparently has become to this government the
equivalent of its treaties with Native Americans, of which this
nation has kept none.

Glenn's bill still sits in committee and has
yet to be acted upon.

Dr. Marcia Angell, in her earlier quoted
editorial, observes that, "There appears to be a general retreat from
the clear principles enunciated in the Nuremberg Code and the
Declaration of Helsinki as applied to research in the Third World.
Why is that?" she asks, then presents, among her answers, "Clinical
trials have become a big business [money, again]....To
survive, it is necessary to get the work done as quickly as possible,
with a minimum of obstacles. When these considerations prevail, it
seems as if we have not come very far from Tuskegee after all."

Referring to the Gulf War incidents and the
current practices taking place in Bosnia, a memo from the army's
ethics committee chairman, Col. Arthur O. Anderson, also signed by
the commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of
Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Col. Earnest Takafuji, stated:

"'...the government had a moral duty to adhere
to its principles, even in wartime, that nobody would be subjected to
an experimental medication without consent.'"

"A 'military' justification for involuntary receipt of
investigational products because of strategic, doctrine and
discipline concerns resembles too closely the logic used by Nazi
doctors to rationalize using humans in research that had predictably
destructive outcomes." (Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dec. 21,
1997).

It is a profound and disturbing truth that
government never relinquishes, voluntarily, any power it has enjoyed
over its citizens. The idea that the governmental scientific
community has done so by ceasing such experimentation is unrealistic
at best--especially when there are laws on the books that permit such
behavior--and especially when there exists overwhelming evidence to
the contrary. The most likely direction is for them to continue as
they have done, only with increasing power.

One of the principal indicators found in a
society in severe moral declension which precedes its demise, is the
manner in which it treats the elderly and mentally infirmed--in other
words--those who have severely diminished capacity to help
themselves. Such conditions were, of course, found in Nazi Germany
which subjected certain classes of citizens to involuntary medical
experiments.

As power is removed from each strata of society
and migrates upward, those to whom it accrues tend to look upon those
from whom they wrested it as subhuman primates or cattle with whom
they may do as they wish. That wresting of power from the "least
significant" of society began, in this country, with the Native
Americans, after that the blacks and Hispanics and will continue its
upward spiral until there are only two classes: the very rich and the
"cattle" who support them.

Why, in this society that seems to be more
informed than any other on the subject of human rights (it certainly
thrusts it in the face of other nations quite forcefully), is this
hypocrisy permitted? It is evident that the invisible,
secret
hand driving the new order are people who know, by arduous
observation of human nature and socio-cultural analysis, exactly how
far they can push the limits of American tolerance. They have had
their fingers on the apathetic moral pulse of this country for over
200 years and there is virtually nothing that they have not
anticipated--except--intervention by Omnipotence.

They have stated their goals and means to
attain them. In the much vilified
document, The
Protocols, is plainly set forth that, "It is critical that
the people become exhausted with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy,
even the use of torture, starvation, inoculation of
diseases, and poverty --leaving the nations no other vision
than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty which is the control
of money and all else. But if we give the nations of the world any
breathing room, the moment we long for will likely never arrive."
